It would be easier to ask what an event manager doesn’t do! We are responsible for organising and running events for clients. That will include everything from brainstorming the initial idea to pitching to clients, raising money, sourcing staff and performance talent, managing the technical requirements of the event, health and safety and managing the staff to help run it.
There are also supplementary tasks such as marketing, social media and post-event analysis. You can specialise later in your career but the more experience you get, the better an events manager you’ll be.
We welcome students from across the globe! Everyone is welcome to study our event management courses. You will need a good standard of written and verbal English to succeed with the courses but our team will be there to help you every step of the way.
Our online courses are accessible anywhere with a reliable internet connection. You study in your own time, at your own pace so you can literally study from anywhere!
